Our lives, especially mine, become way to complicated. We look for that next best thing to make it easier but we actually make it more confounded (I love that word, by the way). Myself, I always have my phone by my side. I use it to stay connected to people, check my emails, look up random facts, read weird posts, play music, take pictures...the list goes on. One might argue that I made it simple by bringing it all into one device, but I would say to them "why do I actually need to have all of that?"
There are times where I forget to pay my phone bill and it gets cut off, but I actually relish in that time. I love the fact that I cannot check up on everything in every second of the day. I admire that freedom. It is too short-lived when I have to turn it back on because my mother starts worrying if I do not call her (I would rather call instead of dealing with police at my door, yes it has happened before).
But there is so much wisdom in those three words. My friend's, that I stated earlier, all time comfort food is Saltines. Yes, that is right, Saltines. In my opinion you cannot get anymore simpler than that. It amazes me that something so simple can satisfy him so much. It is something that I really look up to and respect. It is not just the fact that it is really cheap or easy to access, but that there is so much more meaning to it (as I see it anyways). To be so happy by such a simple thing is really admiring. I honestly wish there was something in my life that I could relate to like that.
I ask of you, can you name something as simple as Saltines that honestly makes you happier than anything? I am out to find something like that for myself.
